What Type of fencing should I install in my garden?
The confusion about which material should be used for fencing can cause much debate. Though timber is often seen as a cheaper alternative to brick or iron, it may not always provide the same protection from intruders that you would want on your property- especially if they are looking at breaking into an expensive home where quality materials go hand in glove with beauty!
The types of fencing you can choose from for your home depend on a number factors, such as the location and style. For example: wood picket fences are popular in Britain while retaining walls divide off sections without being visible tastes or noise pollution between neighbours with different backgrounds who may have land near each other but not much else in common- they’re an excellent solution when both parties want privacy but don’t need anything fancy!

Why Panel Fencing is the most popular type of fencing in the UK
If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to enclose your property, panel fencing is an excellent choice. The panels come pre-installed with concrete posts that slot into place so all it takes are some screws or nails (depending on what type of base) at either end plus something strong enough withstand high winds in order secure them securely onto their bases – which can also double as landing strips when needed!
In addition these fences aren’t just durable; they last 20+ decades too meaning there’s zero maintenance required other than occasional stain removal if necessary.
The best thing about panel fencing is that if a panel breaks or gets worn out you just replace the one panel and not the entire fence. Certain panels might be exposed to more wind and rain than other more sheltered panels so having the ability to only replace certain panels makes this type of fencing the most popular for UK residents.
Choosing the correct type of fence panel
The most common type of panel found in UK homes is called a waney lap board. These cheap and cheerful fences can be purchased at any DIY store. Housebuilders typically install these due to their cost.

Other Types of Timber Fencing
Picket Fencing
Picket fencing was once the most common type of fencing found in residential homes all across the UK.
It came at an economical price because for every vertical panel there is equal space, but it had several downsides including being openly visible to passers by and therefore potentially risky if your garden contains valuable equipment or plants that should be kept hidden from view.
Picket fencing these days is generally only used to enhance aesthetics and you often see it used in front gardens where privacy isn’t a requirement or as an internal border used to separate different areas of your garden.
Closeboard Fencing
Closeboard fencing is a great way to keep your privacy at the back of property. With no gaps like picket fencing, it’s impossible for intruders or vandals to see into your garden.
This type of fencing is an excellent way to keep your property secure and it can last for many years if the quality timber used. Closeboard fencing is commonly fitted by professional fencing companies or joiners. However if part of the fencing is broken its not as simple as dropping in a new panel
